The Refuge was established in 1966 in cooperation with the State of Maine to protect valuable salt marshes and estuaries for migratory birds. The refuge consists of eleven refuge divisions protecting a total of 5,549 acres of coastal wetlands and upland habitat. All divisions lie along 50 miles of the southern Maine coastline, encompassing the coastal communities of Kittery, York, Ogunquit, Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth and Eliot, within York and Cumberland Counties. Refuge divisions lie within the Gulf of Maine watershed. The refuge’s proximity to the coast, along with its transitional position between the southern deciduous forests and the northern boreal forests creates unique biodiversity found nowhere else in Maine.

The Refuge’s Timber Point property, located in Biddeford, Maine, is a total of 157 acres and is composed of a variety of habitats including fringing salt marshes, cattail marshes, mixed deciduous forest, mudflats, shrublands, tidal pools, and rocky shores. This parcel is one of the

last large, undeveloped properties on the southern Maine coast. Historic properties and associated structures at Timber Point are included on the National Register of Historic Places. These were part of the Ewing family summer estate, and includes the main house, garage/woodshop complex, truck garage, boat house, changing shed, and remnants of a greenhouse.
